Kauai is one of the most consistently beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The entire island is teeming with waterfalls and lush vegetation, and rainbows are a daily (sometimes hourly) event. I’m sure that Oahu has its share of natural beauty as well (I hear the North Shore is quite lovely), but after spending several days in the high-rise tourist mini-metropolis that is Waikiki, stepping off the plane in Lihue is like going back in time two hundred years. The waterfall you see here is Wailua Falls, which is one of the most famous natural landmarks on the island and looks as amazing from ground level as it does from above.
